Firstly it’s my pleasure to be the first to say welcome to The Rake’s new blog. Hopefully you’ll find it helpful, informative and maybe even interesting!

If you haven’t been to The Rake before, we’re based in Borough Market. It was set up by the owners of Utobeer, a retail and wholesale business that specializes in providing speciality beer to bars, restaurants and pubs in and around London.

The Rake was opened in 2006 primarily as a showcase for the draught beers that Utobeer can provide but it quickly became a popular venue for beer hounds from all over the world and has won several awards during that time.

You can follow our offerings on Twitter by following @Rakebar or by joining our Facebook group where you will find information about the beer we sell, beer festivals we hold and beer tastings that are held upstairs by the Lovebeer arm of the Utobeer family.

So once again, welcome, hope you enjoy the blog and we hope to see you soon!
